Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which layer of the Earth is responsible for the generation of the Earth's magnetic field?
  • Step 1: Understand that the Earth has different layers: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
  • Step 2: Know that the outer core is made of molten (liquid) iron and nickel.
  • Step 3: Learn that the movement of this molten iron creates electric currents.
  • Step 4: Realize that these electric currents produce a magnetic field.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the outer core is responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field.
